Nestled in the forests of southeast Alaska, encircled by soaring peaks, incredible glaciers, and elegant rivers, Haines offers unlimited opportunity for outdoor recreation and relaxation.

Haines’ activity calendar is packed full of action year-round. Festivals, a bike race, the Southeast Alaska State Fair in August, rafting, and canoeing are just a few of the countless activities throughout the year. Most evenings during the summer, you can feast at a salmon bake and enjoy a captivating performance by native dancers.

The scenic streets of Haines are never over-crowded, yet they offer everything you’ll need while visiting or on the road: lodging, private campgrounds and RV parks, restaurants, grocery stores and hardware stores, gas stations, galleries, gift shops, and clothing stores.

William H. Seward who arranged Alaska’s purchase from Russia in 1867, is also considered Haines’ first real tourist after he visited to view an eclipse in 1869.

Haines entered modern history in World War II. This is the time when engineers built a road from the quiet little port to the Alaska Highway. Haines has an interesting history. In 1902, an ongoing border dispute between the U.S and Canada started the construction of Fort William H. Seward, the first permanent army post in Alaska. The result was impressive. Officers’ quarters were built with ornate Victorian fireplaces, cabinets, doors, and windows. The homes along the top of the fort included Officers’ Row; here captains, lieutenants, and their families lived. What is now the Hotel Halsingland, once was the Bachelor Officers’ Quarters and Captains’ Quarters. The Main building of the hotel was the commanding Officers’ Quarters. When the fort was decommissioned in 1947, it was bought by a group of war veterans with hope of creating a utopian arts and commerce community. Today the fort has numerous hotels, restaurants art galleries, and recreation sites.

For some, winter is the ultimate time to be in Haines. The season starts with the annual visit of up to 3,500 Bald Eagles from October through December. Photographers and nature lovers flock to the Chilkat Valley to view the thousands of Eagles as they gather to feed on the late run of salmon. January brings increased daylight, and snow for outdoor activities such as dog mushing, snowmachining, and ice climbing. At the end of the winter season, whether it is back country or cross country, March and April’s spring skiing can’t be beat!Whatever your passion is about Alaska, you’ll find it in Haines, the Alaska of your dreams!
